Temperature Controlled
Using a well established trunking operation and through an efficient network, goods can be collected today and arrive at the destination Co-op or Somerfield RDC by tomorrow morning. |
 |
Our network is organised to ensure goods arrive at depot when needed, in time for picking and onward delivery to store.
Alternatively, goods can be delivered by you in to any RDC or direct to the NDC for onward distribution by us to all sites. If necessary we can break down these deliveries for onward shipment. |
 |
Storage facilities are offered at our central hub in Alfreton, Derbyshire, and also at various RDC’s, notably at our new composite depot at West Thurrock.
Our experienced warehouse operations offer various case picking options, where stock can be stored, picked and managed by us on your behalf. |
 |
Frozen
The Co-op network for frozen food distribution is based around three stock holding depots at Harthill, Halesowen and Thetford.
The network provides opportunity for collection from supplier and distribution to all three sites.
Frozen storage is available in our commercial storage facilities at Thetford and Eccleshall.
The Somerfield frozen facilities are at Frimley and Lea Green.
 Ambient
